Hola! I just got back from a walk with one of my favorite peeps. And this morning I did a 12 mile run. Now I need to rest like it’s my job since I have a lil 13.1 miler tomorrow. Hello Monican relax with wine.
In crazy Flashback Friday news…
a year ago today I was in CHINA! Isn’t that weird?!
It is somewhere I’ve always always wanted to go and I’m so glad it lived up to my expectations. I would definitely go again!!
I ate a silk worm, I walked on the Great Wall of China, I saw Tiananmen Square, was in awe in Shanghai and ate all the food I could!
Here is a fun Flashback Friday look at that time…
Arriving in China with Panda Bears and the Birds Nest Stadium
The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square
The Great Wall of China Bucket List Check Off
Beijing Breakfast and Lunch and Dinner
Time.of.my.life. Seriously.
It’s crazy to look back on where I was exactly one year ago today. I’m glad I enjoyed every single second!
I’m at a really introspective place in my life right now trying to figure out where it’s going next. It’s just awesome and odd to think about where I was exactly this time last year and where I’ll be one year from today. I am truly grateful I enjoyed my time in China so much! I’m very blessed.
Question: What were you doing a year ago?
Heather @ HeatherRunsFast.com says
VERY Random, but I was ALSO in China a year ago! How freaking weird is that?! I did all the things you did and it was amazing! China was at the end of our month long Asian vacation and I was really over all the smoke and smog, but other than that, it was unbelievable. Glad you loved it as much as me!
Sue says

Brandi Jeffries says

Thanks for sticking with me 🙂

A year ago today I’m guessing I was recovering from my first week back at work after the holidays. I was probably getting excited about our wedding which was 3 months away. Hopefully I was enjoying the sun and enjoying time with my family.

I loved your China recaps! I can’t believe that was a year ago already. I got the chance to go to Hong Kong this year, but I still really want to go back and see the Great Wall and eat a million foods.

Your China pics are amazing! I can’t remember what I was doing a year ago exactly but it was very similar to this year…freezing my butt off wondering if we’d have a school cancellation due to weather the next school day! (we missed 2.5 days this week)

I was in Chicago doing the Polar Dash 14 miler. We had just had a rounds one & two(?) of the Polar Vortex so they’d gotten a ton of snow but then it warmed up enough to melt some of it so the course was a complete mess!
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
A year ago….living in the crappiest apartment at a job I hated! Fast forward and I own a house with my husband and work my dream job! I don’t know how all this happened!
RBB says
This time last year my husband and I found out we were pregnant again! and now that that is over with I will drink some wine!

I am hoping your 2015 will be very happy.

How fun! China is definitely on my list of places I’d love to travel to. A year ago today I was still in college planning my wedding! It’s so crazy to think back to all that has happened within a year.
Kate @ Endorphin Junkie says
It looks like you had an amazing time! I really want to travel more after school is over. A year ago today I was back in Baltimore, MD preparing for physical therapy school interviews and working a desk job (so crazy!)
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
A year ago today I was on my honeymoon in the Maldives and Dubai! Glad you were able to go to china I’m sure it was an amazing trip!
Alicia says
Your China posts last year pushed me to go out of my travel comfort zone! My husband and I will visit Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong in April. It will be an adventure, that much is for sure.
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I’m guessing I was shoveling snow a year ago. Lol.
Oh and I had my house painted around this time last year.
Wow. Can’t believe your trip to China was a whole year ago.
Introspective is good.
Amy @ Mama Running for God says
Well, clearly I need to travel more…because I was pretty much here, doing the same thing a year ago! How fun to go to China! I hope someday I can go there.
Not sure I’d want to eat a silk worm though…I’d rather have some silk!
Joanna @ Crazy Runner Blog says
I’m headed to China next month!!! So excited 🙂
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
Wow I remember reading about your trip a year ago. Time sure does fly. I can honestly say a year ago I was doing the exact same thing…training for my first half marathon of the year. Man I sound kind of boring now…lol
Linda @ TheFitty says
Did you get a lot of stares from the chinese people there? I bet you stuck out like a sore thumb!
runeatrepeat says
Ha! Yep 🙂
Tricia @ A Couple of Dashes says
It’s always so crazy to look back! A year ago today I was in Disney World preparing to run my first half marathon!
Flower says
I loved all your pictures from China last year. That looked like a fun trip. I was here and there but nowhere near as exciting as China.
